After opening his exhibition at the Gagosian, Takashi Murakami is taking his talents to the west coast. The artist has opened up his first solo exhibition at The Broad, entitled ‘Stepping on the Tail of a Rainbow.” The exhibition features 18 works created throughout his career. The exhibition’s highlight is Murakami’s 82-foot-wide In the Land of the Dead, Stepping on the Tail of a Rainbow painting, which he considers one of his best works.
The exhibition also features the 1999 sculpture DOB in the Strange Forest (Blue DOB). The collection also features a few immersive experiences and AR elements developed in collaboration with the artist’s Kaikai Kiki studio.
The Broad released a statement about the exhibition that reads: “In these works, spanning sculpture, painting, wallpaper, and immersive installations, the artist explores subject matter such as globalization, postwar Japan, pop culture, and religious iconography.”
Takashi Murakami: Stepping on the Tail of a Rainbow is open to the public now and will be on display at The Broad, Los Angeles, until September 25. Head over to The Broad to find out more information and plan your visit accordingly. In the meantime, keep it locked with The Culture Curators for more art news, exhibitions, and art drops coming very soon.
